Yes indeedy, it is me making a rare appearnce

Hi!Yes!!It is indeed me again after yet another
lengthy unplanned absence.But I had to
come back – hopefully more often – but also to give some great news.I very rarely send fan letters to
authors.I should do it more often – we all
want to hear when we do a good job and that job has made others feel good, but
I alas, I am remiss.I did however send
one letter of appreciation and inquiry lately.I was so excited when I saw that Lord of the Storm and Skypirate were
released as ebooks.I’ve already bought,
read and loved them all over again.But
another series she wrote I equally loved – the Hawk Trilogy.Buoyed by the excitement of finding the
Coalition books out as ebooks, I wrote to her to see if there were any plans
for the Hawk series.I head back from
her on Monday and yes indeed the Hawk ones were coming out – in fact the first
one, Wild Hawk, was coming out Feb 24/15 with the next two planned for March
and April.

Well, lickety split, before one could say uncle, I raced
over to Amazon and pre-ordered it.And
since TODAY is Feb 24/15, well, it was like my birthday when I first checked
out my Kindle app.I’m just about
finished a book, but you can bet your bottom dollar you can all guess what my
next one will be.It’s been years since
I read it, but I looooved it.It’s one I’ve
never forgotten over the years.Here is
the synopsis:

"

Jason Hawk only came to his father's
funeral to spit on his grave. That was the best the old man deserved from the
bastard son he'd never given a damn about. The son whose plan for revenge had
now been derailed by Aaron Hawk's death. Or had it?

Kendall Chase was Aaron Hawk's smart and efficient executive assistant, and had
come to know a side of the old man that few saw. But convincing Jason there had
been more to his father, more to his whole life's story than Jason knew, wasn't
easy. He was as tough as the father he hated. And more compelling than any man
she'd ever met.

Convincing him the mysterious Hawk family book, a history now chronicling
treachery and murder, had answers even for things yet to occur, was a much
bigger job. Despite his attraction to her, the only part of Kendall's stories
Jason believes is that his father's vicious widow is determined to see that
Jason gets none of the inheritance left him.

In the end, Jason has to make a decision. Is the magic real? Or more
importantly, is the revenge he's wanted for nearly 30 years, worth losing
Kendall"

AL - isn't it great!!! And I know I should. A big part of the problem is I, um, kind of forget my password for WiFi at home so I can only do it on my Ipad - or at work - after hours 'cause I am a good worker bee :-)

Kristie, Kristie, Kristie. See if your son can reset your WiFi password. I miss you! Although not so much anymore since I keep getting GoodReads recommendations from you LOL

When ebooks started to really become "a thing" I was hoping it would mean 1) more "different" historicals and 2) better backlist availability. It took too long IMHO - but we're finally seeing great strides with backlists! It's so lovely to be able to find some of these titles that used to mean scouring used bookstores, seeing if your online friends in other states and countries could scour their used bookstores, and then Lord help you if the book you wanted was hard to find and selling on eBay for $50.

It's also so wonderful for authors who can now make some money on books that, let's be frank, weren't making them any money for a lot of years because they were out of print.

Now if only my historical wish would come true - although it has been perking up a bit.....
